"Zeng, let's go, the Long March will continue, and it will continue after the Zunyi meeting!" Xiao Ai's very out-of-tune limerick pulled Hongyi's long train of thought back to reality from last night.

"Let's go, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!" Hongyi answered a little jokingly, packed his things and prepared to go back to the department for Monday's regular meeting. When I turned around, I suddenly found that Xiao Ai seemed to be different today, or the flowing curls when we broke up at the subway entrance last night, or the tone that was never very toned, but it felt different. Where? Oh, she wore a modified white cheongsam dress today! Short-sleeved wishful placket, shallow V wrap collar, tall and thin waist, knee-length small skirt, vividly reflect Xiao Ai's outstanding figure and everyone's beautiful temperament, especially she also brought a small blue agate pendant, which is even more delicate and moving to highlight her fair face, and the phoenix rhyme picture embroidered on the placket seems to continue to emphasize the royal status of the cheongsam owner!

"............" Hongyi finally knew that he was distracted, and it must be a distraction, because Xiao Ai's face was already crimson, and it was contrasted with the white cheongsam skirt, which was very obvious.

"Hey, Xiao Gege, it's really natural beauty and brilliance, give us a long face in the Qing Dynasty!" Hongyi took advantage of the time when he walked past Xiao Ai, lowered his voice and said sarcastically but seriously. Don't you know that Xiao Ai behind him has a redder face......

When Hongyi entered the door, most of the comrades were already seated, except for Director Ma and Deputy Director Shang. Hongyi knows his position, and everyone else knows, and the fourth place is his. At present, the first two of the Propaganda and Education Department are the chief and deputy directors who are jokingly called the "immediately" combination, and in the middle is Hao, a researcher who is 50 miles away, and a cadre at the department level. Next is Hongyi, the seconded deputy director of the local department, and further down, there are section chiefs, deputy section levels, section members, clerks, a total of six, Xiao Ai is in the middle, because he graduated from a master's degree, although he has just worked for a year, according to the "Civil Servants Regulations" to determine the deputy section level, it is not fast or slow.

Xiao Ai followed the two directors into the door, and found his position with ease. While spreading out the notebook, he naturally smiled at Hongyi on the other side, and then lowered his head and began to record something. Hongyi found that this long-inherited sequencing made him a little dilemma today, I don't know whether it is better to cross Erlang's legs, or it is more appropriate to sit upright, because Xiao Ai, who is sitting directly opposite, is radiant, no matter how restrained he is, he is always deeply attracted, even if he is always reminded, the time interval between the cycles is no more than two seconds...... Fortunately, the process that made him commit two lasted less than ten seconds, and Director Ma spoke-

"Comrades, a meeting!" Here's the same action of flipping through the notebooks.

"The work of our department last week has just been reported by Director Zhao, and it has also been fully affirmed, I will not repeat it here, just one sentence, everyone performed their duties last week, and the daily work was completed very well, and I also know everyone's hard work!" Director Shang nodded appropriately.

"In particular, it should be pointed out that Zeng took the initiative to give up the rest time yesterday, and took Xiao Ai to complete the report on Singapore's '625' foreign affairs work in one day, and after I presented it to Director Zhao this morning, he was very satisfied, and thought that the report was concise and clear, the logical thinking was clear, the cited materials were detailed and sufficient, and the next work ideas put forward were practical and feasible, and after reading it today, the minister in charge could send it to the Foreign Affairs Department...... "This is the best time for Hongyi to interject -

"Director Ma, this report is your monk director personally instructed me to write, the ideas are all led by you, I am the writer, that's it, there will definitely be some I do not consider comprehensively, grasp the inaccurate place, but also ask the leaders to correct and correct, I also have the opportunity to learn and learn." In addition, Xiao Ai also helped a lot, and all the colleagues in the department also fully explained the work at hand to me in advance, I dare not accept your praise! "Humility is a virtue, and even excessive modesty is a necessary condition for survival. Hongyi's eyes swept over the venue, and he was relieved to see that all colleagues had a smug and satisfied look on their faces.

"Don't be modest, although everyone has done solid preliminary work, after all, you are still the writer." Director Ma caught Hongyi's words, and naturally touched everyone's interests. "According to the leader's arrangement, the Foreign Affairs Department proposed that they intervene in the preliminary work of the 625 task a little later, so we need to cooperate with our department, and it is possible to cooperate with them to go once according to the needs of the work. As for who will go, the leaders are still studying, and after the decision is made, they will tell the relevant comrades in advance and inform everyone. ”

The naming of the "625" task is a customary internal practice of each unit or department for sensitive tasks, and it is generally simply referred to by the month and day. This "625 mission" is a foreign-related time that occurred on June 25 this year. On that day, after completing its operation on the east coast of Africa, a Chinese distant-water fishing boat returned home through the waters of Malacca, but was intercepted by unknown armed men in the waters of Singapore. In line with humanitarian principles, our fishing boat rescued some of the armed men who had fallen into the water, and after confiscating their firearms, we made a request for docking and judicial assistance to Singapore nearby, and reported it back to China. As the competent department, in accordance with the instructions of the senior leaders, in order to deal with the complex marine environment around our country, it is necessary to make an efficient and beneficial publicity of this incident on an international scale. [Solemnly declare: absolutely apocryphal! ] If there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence! 】

About an hour after the meeting ended, Ma called Hongyi and Xiao Ai into the office together.

"Zeng, just now the minister in charge came to me directly and said that you majored in international political and economic relations in college, right?" Director Ma asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, what the leader means is that this time the Propaganda and Education Department and our department are participating in foreign affairs activities for the first time, and we must send the best comrades out, you happen to study something related to international politics and economy, and the report is well written, the leader is very satisfied, and I am ready to let you and Xiao Ai accompany me to Singapore for a trip, of course, we are going to cooperate with the Foreign Affairs Department. Xiao Ai is a graduate student majoring in English interpreting, and she happens to be a translator. ”

"Great, guaranteed to get the job done!" Xiao Ai almost jumped to make Chunli's classic action in cosplay, and also glanced at Hongyi.

"Guaranteed to get the job done. Director Xiexie gives us this opportunity! Hongyi consciously pulled Xiao Ai in to show his loyalty to the director.

"Don't thank me, your work is recognized by the director and minister, and you have this quality. Prepare for these two days and leave on Thursday. "Director Ma is very happy.

At that time, on Chang'an Avenue outside the window, the national flag of the Republic of Singapore, the "Red and White Star and Moon Flag", was fluttering in the wind with the five-star red flag. Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is on a week-long state visit to Beijing, and the 625 incident is just a small part of the game between the two sides.

When he got off work, Xiao Ai walked in front of Hongyi, instead of the previous stormy clouds floating in an instant, which made Hongyi quite unaccustomed.

"I was there, I set off the day after tomorrow, have you prepared anything to go abroad?"

"Huh? By the way, you have to prepare! There's still time, I'll buy it tomorrow. ”

"If something happens tomorrow, the chain will be dropped, and it's okay tonight, I'll accompany you to the yo-yo corner!"

"You're not going home, Gege?"

"Cut! Let's talk about it or not! Xiao Ai started to be powerful, and immediately took out Gege's jiashi. With both hands crossed at the waist, he wanted to scare and scare this little Zengzi, but he didn't know that in this way, the beautiful curve made Hongyi feel ape again......

As a result, half an hour later, Hongyi and a pure and lovely pretty beauty next to him walked on Wangfujing Street, and Hongyi enjoyed the envy, jealousy and hatred of all kinds of passers-by with peace of mind.

"Which country's flag is this?" Xiao Ai looked up at the light pole and asked inexplicably.

"If you go back to Gege, this is the national flag of the People's Republic of China that was founded 38 years after the fall of the Qing Dynasty - the five-star red flag!" Hongyi pretended to fight a thousand children.

"Nasty! People are asking us about the one next to the national flag...... You little Zengzi, you really need to be served by the family law......" Xiao Ai raised his hand and hit, and the pink fist gently landed on Hongyi's right shoulder, but he blushed all of a sudden, and withdrew his hand in a panic. But no, when will these two people be involved with "family law" now?

Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Oh, that, you said it earlier, that is the national flag of Singapore, also known as the red and white star and moon flag, which is the same name as the Turkish flag, but it is not the same!" ”

"Got it." Xiao Ai was still blushing and bowing her head. Hongyi had no choice but to continue:

"Singapore is the only country outside of China where the majority of its citizens speak Chinese, and the Chinese are the majority. In your Qing Dynasty, it was called Temasek, and there were many Chinese in southern Fujian, Hainan and other places at that time. But in the early 19th century, it was occupied by the British as a colony. Speaking of the Singapore flag, there is a bit of an interesting fact. You see, its red color represents equality and friendship, and its white color symbolizes purity and virtue. The crescent moon indicates that Singapore is a newly established country, and the five five-pointed stars represent the five ideals of the country, as if they are the five ideals of democracy and peace. However, these five stars actually have a historical origin! At that time, Singapore's People's Action Party, Lee Kuan Yew's party, formed an alliance with the Singapore Communist Party and won the first general election of the Dominion of Singapore. At that time, when discussing the plan for the autonomous flag, some people proposed that the national flag must be the same as that of New China, with five stars and red, and this proposal was passed, and there were five stars on it. Hongyi made a tirade.

"Really, you know a lot?" Xiao Ai finally came out of the regret and shyness, but unconsciously stepped into the "vulgarity" of the little worship that girls often commit at the beginning of love, flashing a pair of eyes with a strong desire to learn Looking at Hongyi, Hongyi is embarrassed not to "snort".

"Don't forget, I graduated from international politics and economic relations."

"That's right, if you don't know, you don't know how to learn! Then go and give you a whole international outfit now, don't go abroad and embarrass us......" Xiao Ai teased, left Hongyi, and ran into a men's clothing store in front with a smile. Hongyi touched his wallet, silently made a short farewell prayer in his heart, and seemed to be extremely reluctant but in fact he couldn't wait to follow in......
